Was everyone in the Bible white in the beginning? Where were the black people?

Answered by BibleQ . November 12, 2010 - 4:42 pm

The colour of your skin, the shape of your ears, the flexibility of your tongue and many, many more things about you are determined by your genes. Our bodies are made up of trillions of cells, and the DNA in each cell contains all the genes that make everyone different. Each gene comes in a […]

How do we get all nationalities, like Native Americans, from Adam and Eve?

Answered by BibleQ . November 12, 2010 - 4:37 pm 6

Native Americans, Egyptians, Jews and everyone else are all descended from Adam and Eve. In fact, we’re all descended from the family of Noah, who were the only survivors of the flood (1 Peter 3:20). God divided the nations of the world soon after the flood (Genesis 10:32). The rationale for this arose from the building […]

Did Adam and Eve have a sexual relationship while in the garden of Eden?

Answered by BibleQ . November 11, 2010 - 10:10 am 7

We don’t know for sure as the Bible does not say. However, there is no reason to think that Adam and Eve did not have a normal relationship as husband and wife while in the garden of Eden. They were told to “be fruitful and multiply” (Genesis 1:28) which suggests that they engaged in sexual […]

Who were Gehazi’s descendants?

Answered by BibleQ . November 7, 2010 - 8:54 pm

Gehazi was a servant of the prophet Elisha. When Elisha healed Naaman the Syrian of leprosy, Gehazi lied to Naaman in order to receive a large reward (2 Kings 5:20-24).

We are not told the age of Jonathan, but we can figure it out approximately. Here are the relevant facts: David reigned in Hebron for 7.5 years (2 Sam 5:4-5), beginning from the time Saul and Jonathan died.

Why wasn’t Lot turned into a pillar of salt?

Answered by BibleQ . November 2, 2010 - 3:02 pm

Two reasons why Lot wasn’t destroyed: A) for Abraham’s sake (Genesis 19:29); B) Lot didn’t enjoy being there, it was agony to him (2 Peter 2:7-8). Lot pleaded with his family all night to go with the angels (Genesis 19:14-15) but they didn’t want to leave. Lot was hesitant to go because he knew his family didn’t […]

There are three records of Jesus saying things like this, all from when he shared the last supper with his disciples: “I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the Kingdom of God” (Mark 14:25) “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover […]

Do Christians today receive the Holy Spirit around the time of their baptism like they did in Acts?

Yes. Acts 2:38 And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far […]

Why is it important to know your spiritual gifts? And how do you know what your spiritual gift is?

Answered by BibleQ . October 23, 2010 - 9:44 pm 1

Before we answer these questions, we need to clarify what is meant by the phrase “spiritual gifts”. The phrase is usually used in the Bible [1Cor. 12:1; 14:1] to refer to the miraculous gifts that God sometimes gives to people for various reasons (e.g. the skill and wisdom that God gave to Bezalel so that […]
